I don't have a problem with the death penalty. What I DO have a problem with is that all these recants from witnesses and jurors have created enough doubt that would warrant a review of the case. It's sorta like the Casey Anthony case: too much doubt for me and a lot of other people.
There were enough appeals, and if every level of the court said he's guilty, then he's guilty.
What about the people who kill several people and only get life in prison? That's the case with Brian Nichols, who back in March 2005 killed a courtroom judge, courtroom sheriff, a lady who was in the courtroom, and a FBI agent while he was fleeing the scene yet GA doesn't seem anxious about sticking a needle in his arm. Nichols deserves the death penalty more than Davis does. It would have been better just giving him life than executing him. He already lost 22 years of his freedom he'll never get back anyway.
You must have missed this part of my post:
Edit - Although, even if it wasn't a cop, I still believe in the death penalty.
You kill someone, you should get killed back. Especially if it's a cop. Richard Poplawski was just sentenced to death last month for the death of three Pittsburgh cops in 2009, and I couldn't be happier. The trial for an accused Penn Hills cop killer from 2010 starts this fall. If he's found guilty, he should be sentenced to death as well.
